Ben Lee

CEO and Co-founder of Neon Roots

Ben Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Neon Roots, a digital development agency with a mission to destroy the development model and rebuild it from the ground up. After a brief correspondence with Fidel Castro at age nine, Ben decided to start doing things his own way, going from busboy to club manager at a world-class nightclub before he turned 18. Since then, Ben has founded or taken a leading role in 5 businesses in everything from software development to food and entertainment.

Neon Roots is a tight-knit family. We’re also dual-headquartered in Los Angeles and Montevideo, Uruguay. Being on separate continents doesn’t stop our mobile app development shop from knocking out innovative products, and it certainly doesn’t stop us from having a good time together.

Neon Root’s LA-based Project Coordinator, Barbara Faz, recently made the trip to meet the talented men and women of the Uruguay team. Together they shared great food, great company, and even managed to squeeze in some work. The pictures speak for themselves.
